I have apparently forgotten what it was like to make a meal and not have leftovers. This was a delightful little sandwich that was made, eaten and done with in 10 minutes. I, of course, had two because how do you store half an avocado? You don't, obviously.

Two slices of sourdough bread

Not exactly mashed avocado

Two open sandwiches

The original recipe called for rye bread but that apparently doesn't exist in Ireland, so I went for sourdough instead. Frankly, any type of bread would work.

This sandwich does fall apart easily - the avocado tended to fall off as I ate it. Still, it was delicious and easy to make so I will certainly make this again.
